Description: As Soon As It Rains hails the debut of Kaylie Jones, talented daughter of one of Americas foremost writers, James Jones.

In this, her first novel:

Chloe Raymond is painfully - and often self-destructively - trying to forget the death of her father at a time when she is not a child and yet not quite grown up. She embarks on a journey of discovery that will lead her beyond the adolescent sphere of boys and booze to a larger place where she must confront her values and her future as a young woman.

A powerful, sensitive work full of anger and joy of growing up in a perilous world.
